Here the combination produces wines of real mineral precision, textural richness and genuine ageing potential. At its finest — from the volcanic basalt soils of the Soave Classico zone — it produces white wine that rivals the great mineral whites of Europe for complexity and longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe problem is that Soave's reputation was destroyed by decades of industrial overproduction.
